This paper proposes a new synthetic test circuit (STC) to confirm the switching operation of thyristor valve in HVDC converter. The proposed STC uses a 6-pulse thyristor converter with 2-phase chopper as a high-current source to provide turn-on current to the test valve. The operation of proposed STC was verified through theoretical analysis and computer simulations. Based on computer simulations, a hardware scaled model was built and tested to confirm the feasibility of implementing a real-size test facility. The proposed system has an advantage of simple structure and operation over the existing system.

This paper describes CSC(Current Sourced Converters)-based HVDC operational strategy for voltage stability enhancement in the power system. In case of CSC-based HVDC system, rectifier and inverter consume reactive power up to about 60% of converter rating. Therefore, CSC-based HVDC is basically not useful system for voltage stability even if AC filters and shunt capacitors are attached. But, If the particular power system condition is fulfilled, CSC-based HVDC also can be the rapid reactive power source for voltage stability enhancement using a cooperative control with converter and AC filters/Shunt Capacitors. In this paper, the cooperative control algorithm is presented and simulated to ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW HVDC system in Jeju island.

This paper studies a busbar design of high power HVDC converter. In order to design a electrical busbar, we need to consider electrical, mechanical and environmental condition. In this papre, we focus on the electrical design in terms of temperaure and currnet. Busbar conductor can be damaged to burn due to the temperature and fault current of busbar. In this paper, Busbar design of Jindo-Jeju HVDC #2 System that will start operate in 2012 is considered.

HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) 시스템은 무효전력의 독립적인 제어가 가능하여 계통의 안정적인 연계가 가능하다. 또한, 멀티 터미널 DC grid 구성이 가능해 다수의 계통을 통합 연계할 수 있는 장점이 있다. HVDC 시스템은 단위 유닛인 서브모듈로 구성된 MMC(Modular Multi-level Converter) 구조를 갖으며 밸브 단위로 시스템이 구성된다. VSC(Voltage Source Converter) 밸브는 IEC 62501 기반의 규격을 바탕으로 하드웨어 설계의 건전성과 성능을 확인할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 (주)효성이 개발중인 200MW 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터 밸브 단위의 성능과 설계의 건전성을 확인하기 위해 밸브단위 운전시험 회로를 구성하였으며, 운전 시험 결과를 분석하였다.

AC harmonic filters connected to the terminals of HVDC schemes fulfill two primary functions: to compensate for part or all of the reactive power absorbed by the converter, and to limit to an acceptable level the voltage distortion caused by the converter harmonics. this paper makes a direct comparison between tuned filters and damped filters, each designed for a long HVDC transmission scheme. It Is hoped that by comparing the two approaches a syudy to determine the suitability of filter types to AC systems can be promoted.

In this paper, a fault location algorithm using wavelet transform is proposed for HVDC cable lines. The arriving instants of the first and second fault-induced backward travelling waves can be detected by using wavelet transform. The fault distance is estimated by using the time difference between the two instants of backward travelling waves and the velocity of the travelling wave. To distinguish between the backward wave from fault point and the backward wave from the remote end, polarities of backward waves are used. The proposed algorithm is verified varying with fault distances and fault resistances in underground cables of VSC(voltage source converter) HVDC system and CSC(Current Source Converter) HVDC respectively. Performance evaluations of the proposed algorithm shows that it has good ability for a fault location of HVDC cable faults.

This paper presents a control method of the modular multilevel converter - high-voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) system to regulate grid voltage on the basis of the Jeju Island power system. In this case, the MMC-HVDC system is controlled as a static synchronous compensator (Statcom) to exchange the reactive power with the power grid. The operation of the MMC-HVDC system is verified by using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program. The Jeju Island power system is first established on the basis of the parameters and measured data from the real Jeju Island power system. This power system consists of two line-commutated converter - high-voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) systems, two Statcom systems, wind farms, thermal power plants, transformers, and transmission and distribution lines. The proposed control method is then applied by replacing one LCC-HVDC system with a MMC-HVDC system. Simulation results with and without using the MMC-HVDC system are compared to evaluate the effectiveness of the control method.

This paper performs a comparison analysis of two types of HVDC system in Jeju power system. A traditional HVDC transmission system had been composed of line commutated converter based on thyristors and the development of semiconductors enables to apply voltage source converter using IGBTs. The detailed parameters of Jeju power system were considered to make a similar condition with real system in real time digital simulator. Two types of HVDC transmission system were modeled and simulated to compare their characteristics in Jeju power system. The simulation results demonstrate that the VSC-HVDC system has more stable performance due to the fast response speed than LCC-HVDC when the transmission capacity was fluctuated.
